esthetics and fire safety have emerged as the
driving factors in commercial wall and façade
trends. Developers and façade contractors
need to be careful of their choice of cladding
and façades based on a careful evaluation of
a product’s ability to stand up against the elements, while
providing a durable, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The trends and styles of exterior cladding in commercial
projects are continually evolving in response to client de-
mands and consumer perceptions. In the current environ-
ment, these are being shaped by aesthetics, the desire for
green space and events bringing fire safety and certification
to the forefront of client and consumer concerns.
Choice of cladding and façades needs to be based on a
careful evaluation of a product’s ability to stand up against
the elements, while providing a durable, aesthetically pleas-
ing appearance. Moreover, façade contractors are exploring
novelty in materials and design and also innovative methods
of installation.
This issue looks at some of the fascinating façade proj-
ects that are landmarks in their own way in the respective
